The course environment variable is now $externalPrograms{latex2pdf}. This was changed as discussed in the development meeting today because it is odd for it to be named pdflatex if we are not using pdflatex, and furthermore it forces those upgrading to check their configuration and make the change.

Note that a change to PG will also be needed due to the change in the environment variable name. This is done in openwebwork/pg#1087.

Looks good and works.

There is a mention of pdflatex in doc/devel/pre-bugzilla-TODO-file which of course is very outdated. It reminds me that we may want to review the doc folder and remove or archive old irrelevant things.

The course environment variable is now `$externalPrograms{latex2pdf}`.
